Carmella

Carmella is primarily constructed of Cherry. The feature ring is a mixture of Maple, Bloodwood, Brazilian Cherry and Mahogany. There are 156 segments used to create Carmella. I applied 8 coats of tung oil and 3 coats of paste wax for a finish. The interior is finished with two coats of ebony stain and two coats of tung oil. Carmella is approx 6”x6”.

lew – the bottom treatment is my adaptation of the floating bottom by Malcolm Tibbets. In my version I use two pieces of veneer.

Napaman – I’ve put together a tutorial of sorts on the bottle stoppers I’ve done in the past. I’m still tweaking my technique on the vessels, but once I nail that down I imagine a tutorial would be doable.
